Liverpool have entered the race to sign Musa Al-Tamari this summer, according to Bleacher Report.
The 22-year-old currently plies his trade at APOEL FC and has been compared to Lionel Messi in the past.
The Jordan international has caught the eye of Liverpool, as well as Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, Atalanta and Lille, ahead of a possible summer exit from the Cypriot club.

Any player compared to Messi is going to make supporters sit up and take notice, so it is exciting to see Liverpool linked with Al-Tamari.
The winger possesses similar attributes to the Barcelona legend, whether it be his dribbling ability or preference for cutting inside onto his deadly left foot.
I think Liverpool could do with more natural width in reserve next season, with no tailor-made backups to Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane currently at the club.
The likes of Divock Origi, Takumi Minamino and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain can do a job out wide – Xherdan Shaqiri is expected to leave this summer – but Al-Tamari would bring genuine natural quality in that role, with three goals and nine assists to his name in all competitions this season.
He has also scored seven goals in 32 appearances at international level and is a hero in his homeland.
